You can fix your radiator with JB weld. When my slimline fan ****** up it rubbed a hole in one spot and I fixed it.
Find where it's leaking, and tear the fins away from both sides if the core. Not a huge spot but just enough you have room to work. Then take some needle nose and crush the spot where the hole is flat. Then mix JB
Weld together and put it on a few layers. Like let layer one harden and go agian. Also make sure the surface is really clean before you put the JB weld on. It's sort of getto but me and My father have fixed more than a few like this and they all have held. It just depends on how well you clean your surfaces.

My girl's dad owns a shop so he usually hooks me up, he already ordered a replacement for me, might do that to the original one for a spare though
And I have 78k on my MSP, got it a little over a year ago with 65k
My old civic bought it with 65k, two and a half years later had 170k... What was I doing?!?!

Thanks man, I have the same insert and I like it a lot.
I bought my MSP in July of 2010 with 86k and it's at 113k now. At least i'm enjoying every minute of it. Bought the Bullitt new in October 08 and it has just over 20k on it now.

Just get a high flow cat and have a custom midpipe made, or get an SLS midpipe with a highflow cat. It will greatly improve the performance of the car.

No problem
and yeah it's a great sound! Too bad I bought some cheap ass, what I wouldn't even call, couplers and, what I thought was supposed to be T-bolts; cuz now my car is parked.. But I guess it's a lesson learned, don't buy anything off of eBay unless it's BRAND NAME!!!
